Abstract

We have fabricated the glucose-sensitive protein hollow microcapsules from hemoglobin (Hb) and glucose oxidase (GOx) via layer-by-layer technique with glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linking agent. We demonstrated the coupled enzymatic reactions between Hb and GOx within capsules by means of CLSM. Th...
